BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham says the State Street parking garage will close on Jan. 5, 2026, ahead of its demolition next year.
Binghamton plans to request bids for demolition of the garage in the coming weeks, per the city’s website.
The mayor announced plans for the ramp’s demolition in September during his 2026 budget address. The ramp, located on the corner of State and Henry streets, was built in 1970.
